V 4 Application filed August 13, 1882i. (No` model.)

-To all whom/.alt mag/concern,.- 'Be it known that I, WILLIAM O. WAYMAN, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, vand a citizen of the United States, have invented new and useful Improve,- ments in Lubricators, of which the following Ais a` fnll description, reference being had to Athe accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation; Fig, 2, a vertical section; Fig.`3, a detail, partly in section, showing the driving-shaft and lifting devices; Fig. 4, a detail showing the plunger, with its openingkfor the passage of' the oil; Fig. 5, a detail showing a modification in the form of -lifting devices.

The object of this invention is to construct a pump for automatically passing oil or other lubricant from the receptacle for lubricating steam-cylinders and other devices; and its na-, 2O ture consist-s in the several parts and combinations of parts hereinafter specizally described, and pointed out in the claims as new. In the drawings, A represents a cylinder of glass, forming the body or main portion of thereceptacle for the oil. f Y B is a metallic cap having a rim or flange, b, around its'periphery, and having a suitable opening closed by a plug, c, forilling there ceptacle A; C, a metallic cap having a rim or 3o flange, c, around its periphery. The cylinder A is located between the caps BC, and in the rims or iianges b c, and is heldin positionbv such rims or flanges and the `caps.

D is a stand having `a hollow interior, and, as shown, the cap Uisforme'dwith -or is a continuation of the stand D. .Y A

.E represents arms extending from the interior ofthe stand D at the upper end, to form supports for a plug. i f 4o F is the plug, located centrally of the standv D and cap C, and havinga central opening to receive the plunger, andja smaller opening leading from thelplung'er-opening to the end plug, and'closedlby a valve,.f,.asshown,

- of the 45 in Fig. 2..

A Gis vthe plunger,`V having a transverse opening; d, leading' from: its exterior-to an :interior .-,Qpening je; Whielropen'ing ,e extends. longitudinallythrough the plunger,` and is closed 4at the end of thefplungerbya valve, e,wnich 5d valve and the end ofthe plunger are located in the opening thereforin the plug F, and between, the endof the plunger and-the end of the opening in' the `plugf-Fl is left a :space -to form a chamber,`e", whenl the, plunger is at 5 5 the limit of its upward movement, as shown in Fig. 2. i V

His aring having on one end or side a flange,

h, and from this endy or side extends out the plunger G, the -ring'fand plunger, as shown, 6o being formed together, but may be made separate and attached one to the otherin any suit`V able manner, ifdesired. The opposite end or side of the ring-H in line with the plunger G- is provided witlra pin,.H', which entersan 65 opening in a boss at thecenter 4of the baseplate, and forms a guide to maintain the plun ger in a direct line of movement.

I is an eccentric located to engage the inL terior face of the ring H and give the plunger 7o G its required movement.'

J is ashaft on which the eccentric I is located or mounted. One end of this shaft enters a sleeve or second shaft, J', on the end of which adjacent to the cam I is aneccentric, I', 7 5 arranged to engage the ilange or plate h of the ring H. I K K' represent a stuffing-box for the shaft or sleeve J', theportion Ii having a screwthreaded end to enter a screw-threaded`open 8o in g in the stand D, and-having a central screwy threaded opening to receive the screw-.threaded body of the section K'. This stufng--box -K K' forms. a bearing for the shaftor sleeve J `and the object of entering the end of the shaftJ 85 int-o the secondary shaft or sleeve J is tO-provide a bearing-surface on that side .of the ring H to support and maintain the shaft and operating-eccentric in position. 4 l

L is a locking slide or clutch located around 9o the sleeve or shaft J at the end of the stuffingboX K K', the portion K of the stufng-box having serrations or 'teeth ,with which serra-l tions or teeth z" on? the -slide or lclutch L en'- gage, as shown in Fig .'1;andthe sleeve .or 95 clutchL4 is connected with the shaft or sleeve J "by aspline orky,' 7. (Shown by dottedlines L in Fig. 3.) The end of the shaft or sleeve J is provided with a iiange or rim, J", having a head to receive a wrench or other device,by which the sleeve can be turned -to adjust the eccentric I in different positions in relation to the ring H to regulate the throw of the plunger, and between this collar or arm J and the end of the sleeve L is a spring,l k, for holding the sleeve in engagement withthe stuing-box section K. The shaft is turned by pulling the sleeve L back to disengage the teeth i i', and the spline or key j, leaving the shaft or sleeve J free to be turned in the stung-box.

-M M represent a stuffing-box for the shaft J on the opposite side ofthe eccentric I, the section M of the stuffing-box having a screwthreaded end to enter the stand D, and the section Mv screwing onto the section M.

N is a wheel or pulley for a belt, by means of which the shaft is given a rotary movement; but instead of using a pulley or wheel,a rockarm may be provided for giving the shaft a rocking movevent; or the shaft may be otherwise pperated to cause the eccentric I to act on the ring and give the plunger G the rcquired movement. The plunger is made to enter the opening in F by the action of the cam I`on the interior of the ring H, and is withdrawn as the eccentric is moved around by means of -the spiral spring g,located around the plunger between the plate h. and the end of F, as shown in Fig. 2. i

O is the base-plate, having a screw-threaded hange, O', to which the end of the stand D is screwed; but the connection between the baseplate and the stand might be made in some other suitable manner. Y

Pis a chamber connected by a collar, P', with the end of a tube, G', which tube passes through the receptacle A, one end being screwthreaded, and connected thereby to the end of the plug F, leaving asuficient space between .the end of the plugand the end of G to form a chamber, f', for the valve f in the end of the plug to operate, and the other end of the tube G is screw-threaded and passes through -a screw-threaded opening in thecenter of the cap B, forming the means for bringing the .cap down to hold the cylinder A in place. The collar P is located around the end of the tube G', which passes beyond the cap B, and in the end of the tube G islocated a valve, f3, V.the chamber'for which, f 4, is formed in the end of the tube G', as shown inFig, 2. The tube G has a central longitudinal opening, f, which, when the parts are-together, comes in line with the opening e of the plunger G, to allow the oil to pass through the tube G. Thechamber P is provided with a stuffing-box, P, for connection with a steam-pipe.

Q is awindow, of glass or other suitable material, in the chamber P, to allow inspection of the interior of such chamber.

R is a glass tube located withinthe' chamber P, and held in position by suitable stu'- ing-rings, l, in which tube B a nozzle, m, enters from the collar P', the opening in the nozzle being in line with the opening in the tube G', as shown in Fig. 2.

The operation is as follows: The rotation of the shaft J or other movement of such shaft causes the eccentric I to act on the ring H and operate the plunger. The -downward movement of the plunger causes oil to enter through the opening d from the chamber in the stand D, which oil passes up in the opening e vand out through the chamber of valve e', the latter dropping down to place as the plunger is again raised, and from the chamber e the oil passes, by the rising of the valvef, into the chamber f', from which chamber it enters the opening f in the tube G', to

'pass through the nozzle m and through the tube R to the steam cylinder to be lubricated; The oil is forced up through thevalve in the plunger at each stroke, gradually raising the oil through the tube in the oil-recepta cle, passing it through the valve at the end of such tube, forcing it through the nozzle at the end of the tube, to pass therefrom through the sight-tube, such movements of the oil being effected through the strokes of the plunger, each stroke passing a given quantity of oil, the quantity first passed being forced forward by the next succeeding quantity, and so on. The valve f3 is provided to prevent a return of the'oil after it has passed through the tube G and into the chamber f4, to enter the nozzle m; but this valvefs may be dispensed with, if desired.

Instead of using a'ring, H, for the eccentric to act on, a disk, S, may be used, the eccentric bearing against the bottom of the disk, as shown in Fig. 5, and the disk fitting and having -its bearing against the side of the chamber in the Stand D.
